You know, Steve. For the first time in probably five years, I am looking
forward to working for Kurzweil at ACB and having my braille plus to get
my
email. I can finally filter rather than having 800 messages all in the
inbox
as with my braille note MPower and cell phone.
But, on the flight home, I know I will be sitting on the plane trying to
get
through the remainder of my mail. If I reply to any and who knows if I
will,
when I get home, I just want to upload my replies.
I think the only thing I like better about using outlook for email on my
computer is that I have my messages grouped by conversation. It makes it
easier to get through those 500 messages per day much faster. It would be
neat if the icon had such a grouping facility as well.
I suppose I wouldn't care how I received my mail then, icon or
computer<grin>.
Heck. I don't even use Juice any more for my podcasts. I haven't in
months.
Just use my braille plus.
And now that you can start a podcast where you left off, things are just
great.

Paul,
I see what you mean. I also assumed that we'd get a Send option separated
from receiving messages. Now that I understand what you want to do, I
think
a separate Send option on the menu is the way to go.

You are right, Steve. It could connect for you then send.
But what if you were not in wireless range?
What if you still had mail to read and didn't want to send that message
right now?
If you did, it would be nice if the unit could connect, send the message
then disconnect.
But Once you place the message in the outbox, all you can do is to send
and
receive.
Your way would work, but you'd have to be within wireless range.
I see two ways around this:
1. When exiting mail, check to see if there are any messages in the
outbox.
If messages are greater than zero, ask if you want to send right now. If
yes, the unit could connect and send. If no, just exit back to the
applications menu.
2. When entering the email menu, if messages in the outbox are greater
than
zero, present a new menu item called send. If there are no messages in
the
outbox, the item would not be presented.
Of course, you could present the menu choice anyway and if there were no
messages in the outbox to be sent, pressing this would just give you the
message that no messages were sent.
Otherwise, if the outbox contained messages, it could say X number of
messages have been sent.
I tend to only use my icon for mail when I am traveling. I don't mind
Sending and receiving when I am away from home, but I don't want to come
home having to send messages I composed on the plane only to get 100
more.
If I reply to any of these, then I have to send and receive more.
I would just like to be able to send whatever is in my outbox whether one
or
ten messages without getting anything new.
When I heard about this new feature, I was excited because I hoped it was
a
send, not send immediately.

Paul,
The Send Immediately option could check for a connection, and if none was
found, bring up the Network Manager.

Hi Levelstar and APH guys.
I was pretty excited about the new send feature until I realized it was
only
a send immediately.
This means that you have to stay connected all the time you are reading
your
email.
I was hoping there would be a new oqtion which would say "send" just
below
the "send and receive" option.
If you want to use this new feature and you get a lot of email, you could
be
connected wirelessly for
hours just so you could send without receiving amy more mail.
